bulls, chicken and goats are killed

Times reporter attends the Obama family victory feast

Quote:

Polls have started to close in the key US election states of Florida, Virginia and Georgia after what officials say has been an "unprecedented" voter turnout in the battle between Barack Obama and John McCain.

Polls have also begun closing in Indiana, Kentucky, South Carolina and Vermont.

US news network CNN has already called Vermont for Senator Obama while it says Kentucky has gone to Senator McCain.

The electoral college vote count had Senator McCain winning eight electoral college votes to Senator Obama's three. A candidate needs 270 votes to win the election.

Early exit polls showed that Senator Obama was winning over 70 per cent of the new voters and the majority of late undecided votes, but was well behind with male white voters in the battleground states.

The polls show Senator Obama well in front in Pennsylvania, but the race very close in Florida, Indiana and Ohio.

McCain concedes presidency

Quote:

McCain: Thank you. Thank you, my friends. Thank you for coming here on this beautiful Arizona evening.

My friends, we have -- we have come to the end of a long journey. The American people have spoken, and they have spoken clearly.

A little while ago, I had the honor of calling Sen. Barack Obama to congratulate him.

To congratulate him on being elected the next president of the country that we both love.

goats again
Reply #8 - Nov 8^th, 2008 at 6:06am

It seems that this month is really bad for goats. Every time humans want to celebrate their silliness goats get killed.

FAMILY and supporters are planning an elaborate "celebration" for Amrozi and Mukhlas after their deaths, including the slaughter of a goat for a feast

I wonder if there is a paradise for goats martyrs and what do they do there?

There is, especially for black-eyed goats - Picture the scene - St Peter (played by Peter Sellers in this adaptation) puts his arm around jihadi martyr (Marty Feldman), leading him to heavenly enclosure of three score and a dozeen black-eyed goats.

"Well... It's like this, you see, my dear martyr...'

Inclusiveness, however, is encoured. You would not want to be seen as exclusivist by surrounding yourself with only, say, nigerian dwarfs, however tempting that may be.

We shot one on the farm and had stir fry burgers. Next time, try treating them like barbecued spare ribs with lashings of garlic and shallots (spring onions). They're finger licking good.
